Round II

Interactive simulation of a Countdown in GWT

To show our love for developers, we created aValentine's Dayversion of the Google I/O countdown clock, where our exploding dots changed into hearts floating in the wind. Your challenge will be to express your passion for software development by re-inventing the countdown at www.google.com/io. Small tweaks or (better yet) complete re-imaging of the experience is welcome.

Criteria:

Should allow count downs of up to 365 days to a given date

Must be written using GWT

You are encouraged to use latest HTML5 constructs such as Canvas, WebGL, etc

The application may work only on the latest stable Chrome build (does not have to work on older browsers)

Smaller resulting javascript code size is important

Fast initial load and overall performance is important

Hosting on App Engine a plus

Developed in Eclipse and publish source code on Google Project Hosting a plus

Bonus if it works well on Android

Consider submitting a video demo of the cool interactive of your app so we are sure to see all the great work you have done.
